All down the ages we see how blood has stained the surface
of the earth; but now a ray of greater light has come, man’s intelligence is greater,
spirituality is beginning to grow, and a time is surely coming when the
religions of the world will be at peace. Let us leave the discordant arguments
concerning outward forms, and let us join together to hasten forward the Divine
Cause of unity, until all humanity knows itself to be one family, joined
together in love.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk; ‘Paris Talks: Addresses given by
'Abdu'l-Bahá in Paris in 1911-1912’)
